Pathfinding is a method content creators can use to create moving and interactive characters within Second Life. Characters can use LSL functions to avoid obstacles, move around corners, climb inclines, and move across region boundaries: things that are very difficult or even impossible before. Pathfinding will also enable new gameplay mechanics, such as creating food that attracts monsters.
Terminology

- NavMesh - Short for Navigation Mesh. It's a map for characters.
